Page 2 - Modern Slavery Statement

Our suppliers
Ercol Furniture Ltd works alongside well-established businesses and maintains a supplier list available on its
business systems. Ercol conduct due diligence on key, high risk suppliers before engaging on commercial
activities. This due diligence includes pre work inspections and periodic onsite audits which include a review of
working conditions.

As part of our contract with high-risk suppliers going forward, we require that they confirm to us that:
1. They have understood the principles of the Modern Slavery Act, and taken steps to eradicate modern
slavery within their business
2. They hold their own suppliers to account over modern slavery
3. They pay their employees at least the national minimum wage / national living wage (as appropriate) in
their country
4. We may terminate the contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery come to light
Training

We circulate information for our procurement/buying team so that they understand the signs of modern slavery
and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain, and have information available on
our intranet.

Our performance indicators

We will know the effectiveness of the steps that we are taking to ensure that slavery and/or human trafficking is
not taking place within our business or supply chain if:

• No reports are received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies to indicate that
modern slavery practices have been identified.
• Internal and External audits do not highlight or give reason to suspect modern slavery is present.
